Have you followed the [Filebeat Getting Started Guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-getting-started.html) and configured the [Logstash output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/1.0.0/configuration.html#logstash-output)? Is there any particular step that is causing problems? ---

What does your Filebeat configuration(s) look like? What does your Logstash configuration look like? Have you tried using the stdout output in Logstash to verify whether anything is coming into Logstash? Do you see any errors in the logs? ---

In order to identify what is going wrong, please temporarily replace the elasticsearch output with stdout. This makes it easy to see what data is actually received. Then verify that you can telnet to the Logstash input port from the machines where Filbert is installed. Do you see any connections established to Logstash? Does the Filebeat configuration match any log files on the server? ---
